120. A Childish Surprise
"That incompetent guy .... Does he think he is more powerful because he funds a project with me?" Edmund grumbled.
After a snort, he took out his phone. He wanted to call Alice, but he was afraid that Sky would be disappointed a second time. So, he hurried back to the table. He realized he had to be more assertive."Mr. Cage, where is your president?" Edmund asked, sounding a little annoyed.The man across the table checked his phone. "Sorry for your inconvenience, Sir. They will arrive in two minutes. We can immediately process the signing as soon as they arrive."Edmund's brows furrowed deeper. He wondered why the man said "they". Was the president of Elles Investment more than one person? Or did the driver count too?"I hope you don't forget that my time is limited. If your president is not here in five minutes, I have to leave the contract without signing."Mr. Cage nodded. "Understood, Sir."However, not even a minute late

While putting the shopping bag on the table, Giselle sighed, "Don't be surprised, Ed. You've known me for a long time. You should know my capacity." After a slow blink, her face became gloomy. "All this time, you have always praised Alice for her enthusiasm and tenacity. You called her a very amazing woman. She was able to get out of her comfort zone and overcome her fears. But what about me?" Giselle raised her head. Her sharp eyes were fixed on Edmund. "Look at me now. I am the president of the fastest growing startup company. Our valuation keeps increasing. We are even nominated for an award next month. I am now an independent career woman who is admired by many people." Seeing Edmund listening silently, the corners of Giselle's lips turned up again. "Then what has the woman you call great achieved? A shameful past?" Snorting, Giselle shook her head. "She doesn't even remember your birthday, Ed. She has no achievements. She is just a burden

"You're better than Alice?" Edmund snorted lightly. Rolling his eyes, he shook his head. "How unreasonable." Then, he looked at the people around them one by one. "I know you're all on Giselle's side, but please answer my question honestly. This is for her own good. Does her action of stealing someone else's husband make sense? What will happen to your company if the media uncovers her behavior? The mysterious president of Elles Investment turns out to be hiding her identity because of her own disgrace." Everyone fell silent. The waiters, Mr. Cage, even Nick didn't dare comment. They were bowing their heads, caught in a dilemma. Defending or not defending, they were always wrong. "Guys? Why are you silent? Come on, answer him! Tell him that he should think clearly." "You're the one who should think clearly, Giselle. You're talented and your future is bright. Why waste it on a man like me?" "Because I also want to feel happy
Mr. President's Lost Wife 123. Happy Birthday, Papa
Sky put her hands on her hips. After turning to face Giselle, she stamped her foot once. "Miss Giselle, please listen to me carefully. Edmund is my Papa, and he is Mama's husband. No one can take him from me and Mama." Giselle's blood boiled hearing that scolding. But when she was about to argue, Alice's voice stole her attention. "But Ed, you don't need to cancel the contract just because the president seduced you." Not only Edmund, but Nick and Mr. Cage also raised their eyebrows. "Why? If our company is tied to hers, she could have more opportunities to seduce me. You don't mind about that?" With a small smile, Alice stroked Edmund's cheek. "I believe in you. Besides, if your companies work together, you don't have to handle it directly, right? There's Scott and the staff you can assign. Even if you have to meet her again, I'll be watching over you. Aren't I your assistant?" The corners of G

"Thank you very much, Honey. Thank you for calling me Papa on my birthday. This is the most beautiful gift I've ever received in my life." Edmund kissed his daughter's head. Instead of being happy, Sky's eyebrows knitted together. "That's not a gift. That's just a calling. The real gift is in the car. Wait a moment. Let me get it." While Sky ran towards the driver waiting in front of the car, Edmund turned to Alice. The curve of his lips changed meaning. "Did you purposely dress up to celebrate my birthday?" He put his arm around her waist. Smiling faintly, Alice nodded. "Is it strange? This is the first time I have worn a dress in my memory." Edmund shook his head. "You are very beautiful. Green is your color. This dress is lucky you chose it, just like me." Alice cupped Edmund's cheek, giving him a gentle stroke. "I'm glad you like my dress. In the future, I will try to please you more often." "You

"How is it, Papa? Is the cake delicious?" Sky asked with chocolate stain on her mouth. "Very delicious. Did you make it?" Sky raised both hands even though one of them was still holding the spoon. "Yes! I helped Mrs. Klein pour the raspberries into the mixture. I stirred them too." She made a spinning motion, demonstrating how to do it. "Then I helped Mama arrange the cake layers and the decorations on top. Mrs. Klein said, Papa likes raspberries. So I put a lot of raspberries." Chuckling, Edmund wiped away the chocolate cream that stained his daughter's cheek. "No wonder this cake is so delicious. Next time, how about we make it together?" Sky nodded firmly. "Good idea, Papa. Now, since you have finished eating, how about you start opening those gifts? After that, I'll take out the special gift." "But you haven't finished your cake yet." Sky looked down at her plate. She only ate one bite of the sec
Mr. President's Lost Wife 126. The Most Beautiful Day
Edmund took out the scrapbook very carefully from the box. After stroking the picture of a character that was very similar to Sky, he checked the first page. A bitter laugh escaped his mouth. The image of a crying baby had torn his heart. The date written there immediately evoked memories. At that time, Edmund had no idea that his little daughter had come into the world. He was still busy grieving and punishing himself in regret. "This is your birth date?" Edmund sighed, hoarsely. Sky nodded. Her lips folded inwards, not knowing what to say. "Let's celebrate your first birthday next year," Edmund promised. "It's not my first birthday, Papa. I'm already five next year." Edmund laughed in pain. "Yes, I know. But it will be your first birthday party with me, the first time I can celebrate your birthday. Sorry for missing four of your birthdays." Sky walked over to Edmund. She gave him a hug, patting his

Seeing the father and daughter hugging each other, Alice took a deep breath. Happiness colored her heart. After closing the door slowly, she turned around. That's when she was startled. Elizabeth had stood up with an expressionless face. "Is Edmund asleep yet?" Alice shook her head stiffly. "He's accompanying Sky to sleep." Elizabeth sighed heavily. "I want to wish him a happy birthday." "Do you want me to call him out?" Alice offered.To her surprise, Elizabeth shook her head. "No, just let him have fun with his daughter. It's his birthday. I have no right to ruin his happiness." Alice was stunned at the answer. After one blink, Elizabeth handed her something. "Please give this to Edmund. I'm already sleepy. Give him my best regards and prayers." Alice accepted the small box with a doubtful expression. "Okay. Thank you, Mom." As Elizabeth turned and walked to her room, Alice l

"Papa Lucas! Canis!" Sky jumped up and down while waving her hands. Recognizing the voice, the German Sepherd dog barked. A second later, it ran like an arrow. "Canis!" Sky greeted her beloved friend with teary eyes. Her mouth kept laughing. When Canis arrived in front of her, she immediately bent her knees to give a warm hug. "Canis! How are you? I really miss you. Did you come alone? Aren't you with anyone else? Felis, Gigi, and Gusi must be jealous of you." Then, while stroking Canis' head, Sky looked at him longingly. "Oh, why are you so skinny? Don't you eat much? Did Uncle Green and Mr. Arai feed you too little? You should ask for more if you don't have enough food. Bark and go circle around the plate. They'll understand." Canis seemed to be listening carefully. His gaze didn't leave Sky for a second. His lolling tongue and rapid breathing conveyed excitement. Seeing that, Sky hugged him again. "Oh, Canis.
